Why Partner
Reach collectors when they are planning
Most ad placements reach people scrolling past. Card Show Dex reaches collectors actively searching for their next show, their next pack, and their next local stop.
Local-first by design
Every covered metro gets a dedicated city page with current event listings. Partner placement appears where collectors already look.
Built from inside the hobby
I am a collector, I attend shows, and I built this because finding reliable show info should not mean digging through stale posts and scattered groups.
Verified coverage
Events are reviewed by hand before they go live. Partners show up beside a calendar collectors and organizers can trust.
Where We Cover
Active calendars
14 active markets across 4 states
Card Show Dex was built and proven in Texas, where the site is strongest today. As Florida, Tennessee, Illinois, and nearby markets mature, founding partners get early positioning before the field fills in.

Frequently asked questions
How many people will I reach if we partner?
Specific reach depends on your tier and which markets matter most to you. When you reach out, we send a one-pager with current traffic figures, audience breakdowns by city, and the kind of placement performance you can expect. That way you can decide based on real numbers, not guesses.
What is the difference between the partnership tiers?
Local Spotlight covers a single city. Texas Reach covers every Texas metro. Flagship Partner adds premium placement and content features. Send a message for full details and pricing.
How long are partnership commitments?
Flexible. Most partners can start month-to-month, with longer terms available when preferred.
How do I track results from a partnership?
Partners can use dedicated tracking links and placement reporting. Card Show Dex can also work with attribution you already use.
Do you cover markets outside your current states?
Not yet in every market, but expansion is active. If you are in a nearby market and want to be a launch partner there, send a note.
How do I get my event or show listed?
Submitting is free and open to anyone. Just fill out the Submit Event form and your event will go live after a quick review. Partnership tiers are for businesses that want enhanced placement on top of a standard listing.
Founder Note
Send a partnership note
Hey,
I'm Gabe, the founder of Card Show Dex. I built this site because I am a collector who got tired of digging through Facebook groups and outdated forums to find shows.
If you run a shop, organize shows, or work in the TCG space, send me a message. I read every one and reply within 24 hours.
